Give yourself an optimistic explanation of now.

Great to be here. Would anyone like to voice their confrontation to bad feelings rather than let it linger and control you? ‘Stress don’t bother me, I’m diligent with goals!’

I need to tell myself this daily.

It’s ok to feel this. Right now matters not the past or the future, I will be present in the moment.

I wish I could learn to stay present in the moment.

I tell myself these feelings are just my brain’s biological way to try and protect itself, but that is not reality. My therapist has suggested to think of my depression as a separate entity from the real me and to use words like I think this instead of I feel this because it’s easier to change what you think than what you feel.

Name the emotion, do not use pessimistic explanations and broaden my education. Out of faith, praise and thank God each step of the way! Use optimism and good will.

That sounds positive and like it could work.. name the emotion?! So IRENE (insecurity running exuberantly no explanation), TOM ( trust only me), FRANC ( face real attacks not crap)??? 😂😂😂 I see where you were going with it but could not resist... 😉🌷☀️

I admire your ability to use faith to find optimism... I am not able but am still searching just not there yet...🤗
